Pelling· 4.9 · 28 stays

“A family-run home in Borong, Sikkim, with views of Mt. Pandim from the windows. The road climbs steeply to get here, but the quiet is worth it. All meals are included, cooked with organic vegetables from the family's own garden and ghee from their own cows. The host, Sameer, might even give you a tour of the farm. This is a place for slow days and clear mountain air. Rooms are booked individually.”

A look around

What's here

The final approach to the home is a steep climb, high above the main road. It’s a walk that ends with wide-open, panoramic views. This is a farmstay, run by Sameer Gurung and his family, where the rhythm of the day is set by the seasons. The home has six rooms, each with its own attached bathroom and geyser for hot water. Rooms are neat, spacious, and airy, designed to let in the light and the mountain scenery. As one guest, Ashish Maurya, put it, "What stood out the most was the breathtaking view of Mt. Pandim right from the window - a sight that made the morning special." The home is rented by the room, making it suitable for solo travellers, couples, or large groups of up to 18 who can book multiple rooms. Meals are a central part of the stay. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all included. The family kitchen is a cozy place for conversations over food that is grown just outside. Vegetables come from their own greenhouse, ensuring fresh produce all year. "All their food is made with ghee made from the milk of their free range cows," a guest noted. You can even buy some ghee to take home. The hosts are known for their warmth, serving hot food even when the temperature drops to zero. The home is pet-friendly and kid-friendly, with parking available on site. Room heaters are available on request. It’s a simple, grounded place. As another guest, Ashique Mondal, said, "This is not only a homestay, it's a farmstay, and a great one."

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

Sikkim is a state of monasteries, high-altitude lakes, and trekking trails. From Borong, you are well-placed to explore parts of both West and East Sikkim.

Pelling, a key town in West Sikkim, is about 115km from the state capital, Gangtok. It's the base for visiting the historic Pemayangtse and Sanga Choeling monasteries, which offer deep insights into Tibetan Buddhism and incredible views of the Kanchenjunga range.

From Gangtok, you can arrange a day trip to Tsomgo Lake, also known as Changu Lake. It sits at an altitude of 12,400 ft and is about 40km from the city. The lake is often frozen in winter. A permit is required to visit.

Also near Gangtok is the Rumtek Monastery, the seat of the Karmapa Lama. It's a vast complex and one of the most significant monasteries outside of Tibet. It's located about 24km from Gangtok.

For serious trekkers, the Goecha La trek is a classic. It starts from Yuksom and takes you to the base of Mt. Kanchenjunga. This is a multi-day trek that requires proper planning and a guide.

North Sikkim, with its famous Yumthang Valley (the 'valley of flowers'), is accessible from Gangtok via Lachung. This region requires a special permit and is best visited outside the monsoon season when roads are clear.

Logistics

Getting there.

The most reliable airport for reaching Sikkim is Bagdogra (IXB) in West Bengal, approximately 124km away. From there, it’s a 4 to 5-hour drive to reach most destinations in South and West Sikkim. Sikkim’s own airport, Pakyong (PYG), is closer to Gangtok (30km), but flights are often diverted to Bagdogra due to weather.

The nearest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP), also in West Bengal, located 122km away. From NJP, you can hire a taxi or take a shared vehicle to travel into Sikkim.

The main road hub is Gangtok, the state capital. It's the center for arranging transport and the necessary permits for restricted areas.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The best time to visit Sikkim is during two main windows. The spring season, from March to May, is when the rhododendrons are in full bloom, covering the hillsides in color. The weather is pleasant and the skies are relatively clear.

The second window is autumn, from October to mid-December. This period offers the clearest skies and the best views of the Himalayan peaks, including Kanchenjunga. The weather is crisp and dry. The monsoon season, from June to September, brings heavy rain and frequent landslides, which can cause road closures, especially in North Sikkim.
